Some one pls explain to me...What is so special about Ward?

[Kigali]

punching power goes up and punching resistance goes down as fighters get larger. not my problem if you can't understand what that involves.


offensive potency, or impotency, is absolutely a consideration.

ray leonard got outboxed and ended up behind on points against tommy hearns. he had the punching power and the chin to come from behind and knock hearns out in the 14th. what's ward going to do if he's behind on kovalev? he'd certainly benefit from punching power if that were the case. and in that sense he is limited by his offensive impotence. sometimes you're behind and you need a knockout. ray leonard had the temperament, chin, and the punching power to come forward and stop hearns. ward has the chin and the temperament. lacks the power. limited.


i expect a narrative, and a clueless one at that, trying to convince me that the sky is red. let's hear it.

You're joking right???

Did Floyd's power increase when he moved up??

Come on now dude.

Abraham was cold-co.cking people at 160 but that all went away when he moved to 168.

To imply Ward should have more power at 175 is just plain goofy.

i've probably seen froch ward 25 times, and i score it 10-2. if you think that froch won 5 rounds you're batssh#t nuts, and if you're just bringing up "offciial" scorecards for the sake of distraction it's caleld a "red herring."

i havent watched it so cant remember what my score round by round was, but i remember thinking it was close when i watched it. Wasnt 10 rounds to 2 though i know that much, yeah ward made froch look sloppy but werent exactly good counter shots ward was landing with, cuffed shots with nothing behind them

Heard it all before pal, not interested. I followed his career closely and he would have stood the test of time and been a top fighter in his weight division in any era. He also did great things, not as many as what he would have probably liked, but I saw enough in the latter part of his career to know that he was a great fighter and he did some great things, the thing which most of you overlook, is he did them past his prime, and with two shot hands.

yep calzaghe was the real deal

Even Froch admitted that Ward won comfortably......and Ward put on that performance with a broken hand!

So many dumb posters in here. It's unbelievable.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

Ward reminds me of a boxing John Stockton. Fundamentally great. Smart. Tough. Hard worker. mundane. task oriented not people person. A pros pro, Never great but very, very, very, VERY good. A HOF'er. 1st ballot but not a super star.

A guy who comes to work on time, does his job and leaves promptly when its time to.

you should be banned for a day for lack of proper boxing kowledge


every fighter in history has lost power moving up in weight. punch resistance AND power goes down when you move up because you are fighting naturally bigger and stronger opponents

The guy has probably never even seen the fight.
